Federal authorities have scheduled a press conference for Tuesday afternoon amid reports that a fortunate traffic stop by Aurora Police may have disrupted an assassination attempt against Barack Obama.
KUSA-TV is reporting that two men have been arrested on weapons charges after the traffic stop early Sunday.
The first man, identified by the station as Tharin Gartrell, 28, was charged with suspicion of being a felon in possession of a weapon after police found two rifles, a high-powered scope and methamphetamine in his car after the traffic stop.

Hopefully nothing happens to ANY of the candidates for President. Haven't seen this anywhere else yet though. Then you have this...

Like I said, I haven't heard a peep about this but if they are holding a press conference tomorrow I guess we'll get more information at that time.
On a side note ... when something like this occurs, do they tell the person who is the potential target or do they wait until they have confirmation that they did in fact, foil a plot? It's a big week for Obama and I can't help but wonder if they keep this information from him and just inform the security assigned to him OR if they do tell him and then run the risk that it may make him nervous/anxious/uneasy during one of the most important times of this campaign.
